I have never received so many compliments from my photos and most importantly, I love them! From the outset, David was a clear communicator, extremely honest, very timely, and his turn around, follow-up and accessibility exceeded my expectations. Whether he’s shooting pieces of Jamaica, his wife, or any other subject matter, David has a keen eye for detail and simplicity and somehow he always manages to nail the perfect shot. Aside from being a true professional, David is also a genuinely nice guy. He has a cool and laid-back vibe about him that instantly makes you feel at ease and comfortable in his presence.
